Sir Rodric Braithwaite: Afgantsy
As a former Ambassador to Moscow, Rodric Braithwaite brings a unique insight to a story obscured by cold war propaganda and the myths of the great game. For his book, Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan, 1979-89, he spent seven years talking to those who had served in Afghanistan and returned. His previous work includes Moscow 1941: A City and its People at War. Chaired by Paul Blackett of Waterstone’s Durham.
